Marky, it's true that not all great bands are available during Summerfest, but I feel obligated to point out the fall off between U2 and Iron Maiden -- like falling off a cliff.

Iron Maiden had its day about 30 years ago, they still sellout in Brazil I'm sure, and they still put on a solid live show for geezers.

That being said, they have no place headlining Summerfest. I have no idea what the rest of the Marcus line up is, but this had better be the only heavy metal headliner. Two nights of "headline" metal, even in Milwaukee, should make people Run to the Hills.

So who would you like to see Paul? Comparing U2 and Iron Maiden is apples and oranges, two different genres. U2 arent exactly spring chickens. Who do you think should "headline"? I hope not the horrific Nicki Minaj. ?

I get enough spam, now I have to see it here??? As for this announcement, Iron Maiden may not be everyones favorite band or genre, but the are legendary and one of the best at what they do. The place will packed. \m/!!!

If you hate metal music, you hate this announcement. If you appreciate music, you know Iron Maiden can draw 80,000 people by themselves around the world and haven't played Milwaukee in 10 years.They are less popular in the US since this country's music culture has been diseased with American Idol, hip-hop and digitally created music. At least the rest of the world recognizes actual talent. These guys along with Alice Cooper are music legends from the era of creativity, theater and talent. Those days are long gone in the US.
